Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an application with a filing date of February 11, 2025, an application number of 202510147978.9, and an invention name of “Model Toys and Model Parts”. Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to model toys and model parts. Background Art

[0003] In model toys (human figures) such as humans and animals, it is required to realize natural movements and various postures. Therefore, in order to realize movements and postures close to those of humans and animals, various joints and rotating parts with large movable areas are realized in human figures using multiple accessories. For example, on the basis of realizing forward bending movements, by dividing the abdomen and the like into multiple accessories and combining them, it is possible to realize forward bending movements that are more natural and have a larger movable area through the movement of each accessory. Patent document 1 proposes an abdominal joint structure of a doll, and the abdominal joint structure of the doll is configured to enable the abdominal component, the chest component, and the waist component to slide relative to each other with the support axis of the connecting component as the center.

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 1-138492 Summary of the invention

[0007] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0008] In the above-mentioned prior art, the chest member and the waist member are connected to a connecting member located inside the spherical belly member, and the chest member is configured to be able to slide around the belly member. By forming the belly member into a spherical shape, it is prevented that when the chest member is slid, the lower part of the chest member abuts against the belly member, thereby preventing the movable area of ​​the chest member from being narrowed.

[0009] On the other hand, it is known to assemble a detachable model component in a part of a model toy such as an abdomen. In such a mode of assembling a model component, when the part including the model component is rotated, the movable range of the model toy may be limited by the model component.

[0010] The present invention provides, for example, a new structure of a model part that is detachable from a model toy.

[0011] Solutions for solving problems

[0012] The present invention is, for example, a model toy, characterized in that the model toy comprises: a first part, which is a part of the model toy and can rotate in a specified direction; and a second part, which is loadable and detachable relative to the first part, and the second part has a first rotating mechanism, which rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first part when installed on the model toy.

[0013] In addition, the present invention is, for example, a model component that can be loaded and unloaded relative to a part of a model toy, and is characterized in that the model component comprises: a first rotating mechanism, which, when installed on the model toy, rotates in conjunction with the part of the model toy in a prescribed direction; and a second rotating mechanism, which is different from the first rotating mechanism and is used to deform the model component when removed from the model toy.

[0014] Effects of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, a new structure of a model part that is detachable from a model toy can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Hereinafter, the embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not necessarily required for the invention. Two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may also be combined arbitrarily. In addition, the same or similar structures are marked with the same figure numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0026] <Appearance of the model toy>

[0027] First, refer to Figure 1 An example of the external appearance structure of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Figure 1 The figure shows the front appearance of the model toy 100. In addition, the arrows of x, y, and z respectively indicate the directions of the left, upper, and front directions of the model toy, and the same applies to the other drawings.

[0028] The model toy 100 includes a head 101 constituting a main body, an upper body 102 represented by a dotted area, arms 103a, 103b, legs 104a, 104b, and a waist 105. In this embodiment, a humanoid robot is used as an example of a model toy, but the present invention is not intended to be limited thereto, and the present invention can be applied to various models such as humans, animals, robots, insects, dinosaurs, weapons, and ornaments.

[0029] The head 101 is connected to the upper body 102. The upper body 102 is also connected to the right arm 103b and the left arm 103a at the side by a connecting member, and is connected to the waist 105 at the bottom. The waist 105 includes a hip joint, and is rotatably connected to the right leg 104b and the left leg 104a.

[0030] <Structure of the upper body>

[0031] Reference Figure 2A and Figure 2B The structure of the upper body portion 102 of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Figure 2A (a) shows an exploded front view of the upper body portion 102. Figure 2A (b) shows an exploded side view of the upper body portion 102 .

[0032] like Figure 2A (a) and Figure 2AAs shown in (b), the upper body 102 is composed of accessory groups 201, 202, and 203. The accessory groups 201 and 203 correspond to the first part, have a hollow portion inside, and are connected in a rotatable manner. More specifically, the accessory groups 201 and 203 are connected in a rotatable manner at the member of the back part. The accessory group 202 corresponds to the second part and is configured to be removable relative to the above-mentioned hollow portion formed by the accessory groups 201 and 203.

[0033] Figure 2B (a) shows the assembly structure of accessory groups 201 to 203. The components shown in the dotted line areas 221 and 222 are connected in a rotatable manner, so that the accessory groups 201 and 203 are connected. Whether or not the accessory group 202 is present, the accessory groups 201 and 203 can be connected. This is because the rotation mechanism of the accessory groups 201 and 203 is not formed inside but on the back side, and by setting the inside as a hollow part, the storage area of ​​the accessory group 202 as the second part is ensured.

[0034] Figure 2B (b) shows a state where the accessory group 202 is installed inside the accessory groups 201 and 203. The accessory group 202 is indicated by a dotted line. When the accessory group 202 is removed, a cavity corresponding to the accessory group 202 indicated by the dotted line is formed in the internal area of ​​the accessory groups 201 and 203.

[0035] When the rotation mechanism formed on the back side (the rotation mechanism formed by the components shown by the dotted areas 221 and 222) is rotated in the direction shown by the arrow 223, the upper body 102 is rotated in the direction shown by the arrow 224 (flexed forward). According to the present embodiment, the accessory group 202 located inside is also rotated in conjunction with the rotation action. That is, the accessory group 202 as the second part does not restrict the rotation of the accessory group 201 and 203 as the first part but rotates in conjunction with them. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even in a state where a detachable model part is installed, the rotation of a part of the model toy is not restricted and the movable area is ensured, so that a more natural movement can be achieved. The details of the rotation mechanism of the accessory group 202 will be described later.

[0036] <Structure of detachable model parts>

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The exploded structure of the model components of this embodiment will be described. Figure 3 (a) shows an exploded front view of the upper body portion 102. Figure 3 (b) shows an exploded perspective view of the accessory set 202 . Figure 3 (a) is related to Figure 2A Since it is the same figure as (a), the description is omitted.

[0038] The accessory group 202 is configured to include accessories 301 to 316. The accessories 311 to 316 are each formed symmetrically on the left and right, and the letter "a" is added to the end of the reference numeral for each accessory on the left, and the letter "b" is added to the end of the reference numeral for each component on the right. In addition, when the same description is given on the left and right, the last letter is omitted for description.

[0039] The accessory group 202 can be transformed from the mounted form (first form) mounted on the model toy 100 to the flight form (second form) by being removed from the model toy 100 and deforming it. In this way, the model parts of this embodiment can be deformed between two forms. Accessories 301, 303 to accessory 305 form the base of the fuselage part in the flight form. Accessories 311a to 316a form the left side of the fuselage part in the flight form. Accessories 311b to 316b form the right side of the fuselage part in the flight form. Accessory 310 is assembled from the lower part of the fuselage part to the accessory group forming the fuselage part, and the connection between each accessory is fixed.

[0040] In addition, accessories 311, 312, and 314 form a first rotation mechanism in the mounted state. The first rotation mechanism is formed at two locations that are symmetrical to each other. The details of the first rotation mechanism will be described later. Accessory 315 is a wing accessory in the flight state, and is rotatably connected to accessory 314. Accessory 315 is located in a closed state in which the wing is closed in the mounted state, and is located in an open state in which the wing is unfolded by rotating relative to accessory 314 in the flight state.

[0041] Accessories 302, 306 to 309 form the nose portion in the flight configuration. The nose portion is connected to the fuselage portion in a rotatable manner. In the mounted configuration, the nose portion is folded toward a recess formed in the fuselage portion to be in a closed state. On the other hand, in the flight configuration, the nose portion is rotated outward from the fuselage portion to be in an open state.

[0042] <Deformation Structure of Part 2 (Second Rotation Mechanism)>

[0043] Reference Figure 4 , the deformation structure of the second part of this embodiment is explained. Figure 4 (a) shows the installation form of the accessory set 202. Figure 4 (b) shows the flying state of the accessory set 202. Here, the rotation mechanism (second rotation mechanism) when the accessory set 202 as the second part (model component) changes from the mounting state to the flying state is described. The details of the first rotation mechanism will be described later.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown in (a), in the installation form of the accessory group 202 as the second part, the accessories 315a, 315b corresponding to the wing part in the flight form and the accessories 302, 306 to 308 corresponding to the nose part are in a closed state and formed into a block shape. In this state, the accessory group 202 is installed in the hollow part formed by the accessory groups 201 and 203. From the state of this installation form, the accessories 315a, 315b are rotated in the directions of arrows 412 and 413 relative to the accessories 314a, 314b, respectively, and the nose part of the accessories 302, 306 to 309 is rotated in the direction of arrow 411 relative to the accessories 312a, 312b. These rotation mechanisms correspond to the second rotation mechanism different from the first rotation mechanism, and the first rotation mechanism is used to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the accessory groups 201 and 203.

[0045] Figure 4 (b) means from Figure 4 The installation form of (a) is transformed into the flight form through the above-mentioned rotation action (411~413). In this state, the accessory group 202 cannot be installed on the accessory group 201, 203. In the case of installation, it is necessary to reversely rotate the parts of the above-mentioned second rotation mechanism to fold the wing part and the nose part to transform into the installation state. In addition, in this embodiment, the flight form is illustrated as a form different from the installation form, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any form can be used as long as it imitates the form of a specified object.

[0046] <Structure of the First Rotation Mechanism>

[0047] Reference Figure 5 , the structure of the first rotating mechanism of the second part of this embodiment is described. Figure 5 (a) shows a front view of the accessory set 202. Figure 5 (b)~ Figure 5 (d) is a side cross-sectional view of an accessory constituting the first rotating mechanism in the accessory set 202 .

[0048] like Figure 5As shown in (a), in the installed form, the nose portion is folded. Therefore, an area (recess) for folding the nose portion is required in the center of the accessory group 202. That is, in order to set the structure of the first rotating mechanism near the center, it is necessary to embed it inside the nose portion. However, if the first rotating mechanism that rotates in coordination with the rotation of the model toy 100 in the installed form is set in the nose portion, the nose portion becomes unstable in the flight form, causing shaking between accessories. Therefore, in the present embodiment, accessories constituting the first rotating mechanism are set at the positions of the dotted lines 501 and 502 shown on both sides of the nose portion. In addition, since the rotating mechanism is set at a position away from the center (nose portion) of the accessory group 202, it is set symmetrically on the left and right in a manner that does not cause unnatural movements. The position where the rotating mechanism is set is not intended to limit the present invention, and it can also be set at any suitable position according to the part of the model toy to which the present invention is applied. In addition, since these two rotation mechanisms are formed similarly and bilaterally symmetrically, the rotation mechanism located on the dotted line 501 will be described below, and the description of the rotation mechanism located on the dotted line 502 will be omitted.

[0049] Figure 5 (b)~ Figure 5 (d) shows a side cross-sectional view of the accessory assembly 202 cut at the dotted line 501 and viewed from the direction of the arrow. Figure 5 As shown in (b), as the first rotating mechanism, the accessory 312b as the first accessory, the accessory 314b as the second accessory, and the accessory 311b as the connecting member are configured. The accessory 311b has a first connecting portion 503 and a second connecting portion 504 for connecting to the accessories 312b and 314b in a rotatable manner. The accessory 312b has a third connecting portion 505 in a cylindrical shape. The accessory 314b has a fourth connecting portion 506 in a cylindrical shape. The first connecting portion 503 and the second connecting portion 504 are respectively formed in a ring shape, and the third connecting portion 505 of the accessory 312b is inserted into the first connecting portion 503 in a rotatable manner, and the fourth connecting portion 506 of the accessory 314b is inserted into the second connecting portion 504 in a rotatable manner.

[0050] Figure 5 (c) shows a situation where the accessory 311b is rotated in the direction of the arrow by means of the second connecting part 504 with the fourth connecting part 506 as the rotation axis. As the accessory 311b rotates, the accessory 312b connected to the other connecting part also rotates. Figure 5 (d) shows a state where the attachment 312b is rotated in the direction of the arrow with the third connection part 505 as the rotation axis via the first connection part 503. It can be seen from this that the attachment 312b is rotated relative to the attachment 311b.

[0051] Thus, the first rotating mechanism of the present embodiment has two rotating axes, and even a relatively small model component mounted on the model toy 100 can have a sufficient movable area. In addition, the first rotating mechanism of the present embodiment has two identical rotating mechanisms symmetrically. Thus, the accessory set 202 as a model component can be naturally rotated relative to a predetermined direction.

[0052] <Upper body movements>

[0053] Reference Figure 6 , the movement (forward bending movement) of the upper body 102 of this embodiment is described. Figure 6 (a)~ Figure 6 (c) shows a side view of the accessory group 202. Accessories indicated by dotted lines represent accessories located inside.

[0054] Figure 6 (a) shows the normal state of the accessory group 202 as the second part before the forward bending action. In this state, the first rotating mechanism is Figure 5 The state shown in (b). Figure 6 (b) indicates that the first rotating mechanism is changed from Figure 6 The normal state of (a) is turned to Figure 5 The situation shown in (c) of FIG. 1 shows that the nose portion of the aircraft in the flight configuration has moved forward. Figure 6 (c) indicates that the first rotating mechanism is changed from Figure 6 The state shown in (b) is turned to Figure 5 The situation shown in (d). Figure 6 As shown in (c), the head portion rotates around the accessory 311, and rotates in a manner such that the top end portion enters the recessed portion of the main body portion.

[0055] The accessory set 202 can be rotated as described above. Figure 2B Thus, according to the present embodiment, the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism for deforming the model part are independently provided, and the first rotating mechanism is used to rotate the model part detachable from the model toy 100 in conjunction with the model toy 100 in the installed state.

[0056] As described above, the model toy of this embodiment includes: a first part, which is a part of the model toy and can be rotated in a predetermined direction; and a second part, which is detachable relative to the first part. In addition, the second part has a first rotating mechanism that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first part when mounted on the model toy. In addition, the second part has a second rotating mechanism different from the first rotating mechanism for deforming the second part when removed from the model toy. In this way, according to this embodiment, a new structure of a rotating mechanism of a model part that is detachable relative to the model toy can be provided.

[0057] <Modification>

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various deformations and changes can be made within the scope of the main purpose of the invention. For example, the shape of the model toy is not particularly limited, and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, insects, and dinosaurs. In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiments, the model parts that can be loaded and unloaded relative to the upper body of the model toy are used as an example for description, but it is not intended to limit the installation position of the model toy. In addition, as a second form different from the installation form of the model parts, the flying form is used as an example for description, but it is not intended to limit the present invention, and other arbitrary model objects can be applied.
